Dental corporate consolidation 2 articles

Dental corporate consolidation is the process by which ownership or control of dental practices becomes concentrated within larger groups, corporate chains or dental service organizations. It can occur through acquisitions, mergers, new multi-site structures and centralized management of functions such as procurement, marketing, finance or compliance. The concept concerns market structure and governance rather than ordinary referral networks between independent practices. Analysis typically examines how scale and ownership affect the organization of dental services without assuming that every group follows the same model.
